摘要
科马克·麦卡锡的小说《路》讲述了一对父子在大灾难后的末日世界里艰难求生的故事。小说的成功除了其反映的主题外,很大程度上还与其所蕴含的伦理内涵有紧密关系。在文学伦理学批评框架下,以约瑟夫·弗莱彻的境遇伦理理论为依据,分析主人公——父亲在人类伦理失序的大背景下,面对不同的伦理环境所作出的伦理选择,阐释父亲在保护儿子这一神谕责任的指引下突破伦理困境的艰难之路。父亲的每一次伦理选择都为其后的情感挣扎作出了伦理铺垫,也揭示了末日世界人类文明的毁灭、道德体系的崩塌和主人公境遇伦理选择的伦理意义。
The Road, a popular fiction written by American author Cormac McCarthy, tells a story about a pair of father and son struggling to survive in the apocalyptic world after a catastrophe. The novel, ever since its publication in 2006, has gained a wide popularity among readers and attracted the great interest of scholars at home and abroad. From the perspective of ethical literary criticism and based on Joseph Fletcher’s theory of situational ethics, this paper analyzes the protagonist father’s ethical choices in the face of different ethical environments under the background of human ethical disorder. This paper argues that each ethical choice made by father paves the way for his later essential dilemma. It also reveals the ethical significance of situational ethical choice of the protagonist in the doomsday world of destruction of human civilization and collapse of moral system.
